HAPPENING NOW:
Obese yet fit
Not all obese people are at an increased risk of developing chronic disease like diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

This group was found to have a 38% lower risk of premature death from any cause than their obese peers, similar to that of healthy people with a normal weight.
